Energy
from
the
sun
reaches
the
Earth
and
some
is
absorbed
by
the
air,
land,
and
water.
Some
of
the
energy
is
reflected
back
into
space,
meaning
it
does
not
heat
the
land,
air,
or
water.
In
this
lesson
students
will
read
a
color
plot
of
Earth's
absorption
of
the
sun's
radiation.
They
will
evaluate
causes
for
difference
in
absorption
rates
at
different
points
around
the
world
and
draw
conclusions
about

Line plots are a useful way to display data especially change over time. During this lesson, students will view NASA data displaying the amount of the Sun's energy absorbed in Australia throughout one calendar year. This lesson also allows students to connect the idea that the sun heats up land, air, and water. Students will practice drawing conclusions based on graphed data.

Bar
graphs
are
simple
ways
to
display
data.
Taking
numbers
and
creating
a
bar
graph
makes
it
easier
to
read
and
draw
conclusions.
From
bar
graphs,
you
can
easily
compare
data
from
more
than
one
source.
In
this
lesson,
students
will
read
two
temperature
bar
graphs
of
data
from
Africa
using
authentic
NASA
data.
They
will
identify
major
parts
of
bar
graphs
and
make
a
generalization
statement
based
on

Students will investigate Nitrogen Dioxide levels in the atmosphere during a one year time span using data sets from MyNASAData website. They will draw conclusions about what factors around the world effect NO2 levels (season, population, industry, etc.)

Line plots are a useful way to display data especially change over time. In this lesson, students learn basic line plot analysis using authentic NASA wind speed data from two locations. In the extensions sections, there is an opportunity to build upon basic line plot analysis skills and opportunities for further assessment.

In
this
lesson
plan
students
create
original
short
stories
that
feature
distinctive
weather
phenomena
such
as
rainbows,
snowstorms,
tornadoes,
thunder,
and
lightning.
Teachers
ask
students
to
list
interesting
weather
events,
read
aloud
a
few
examples
of
stories
that
incorporate
weather
phenomena,
and
discuss
the
role
that
weather
played
in
the
stories.
Once
the
students
have
selected

In
this
lesson,
students
will
play
the
role
of
a
member
of
an
International
Team
of
Marine
Biologists
tasked
with
predicting
and
monitoring
possible
harmful
algae
blooms.
They
will
evaluate
changes
in
the
ocean's
chlorophyll
counts
from
1997-2007
using
data
sets
from
MyNASAData
website,
draw
conclusions
about
how
the
